SAFETY DO NOT USE OUTSIDE DEISNG INTENT OR WITH EQUIPMENT THAT IS NOT RECOMMENDED BY THE MANUFACTURER.
AIR SUPPLY The rivet tool is powered by compressed air at an optimum pressure of 85 psi. Do not exceed 90 PSI of air pressure. Explosion and harm to operators can result. The use of a pressure regulator filter/lubricator unit within 3 meters of the tool is highly recommended to extend the life of the tool. Dirt and/or water in the air supply can seriously impact the performance and durability of the tool; damage to the tool caused by contaminated air supply is not covered under warranty.
JAW CLEANING PROCEDURE / JAMMED GUN REMEDY 1. Disconnect tool from air supply 2. Leaving the nose piece attached, remove the nose case 3 using the wrench provided by loosening at the wrench point. 3. Fit two wrenches, one on Jaw Case 05 and the other on 11 keeping the nut 11 stationary while unscrewing the jaw casing 05. It is important that you only unscrew the nut closest to the jaws (jaw casing) 05. DO NUT ADJUST SET NUT 13. See Fig. 5 4.
MAINTENANCE IMPORTANT: DISCONNECT THE TOOL FROM THE AIR SUPPLY OR SWITCH OFF AT VALVE (54). REMOVE NOSE ASSEMBLY OR SWIVEL HEAD COMPONENTS. All operations should be carried out on a clean bench, with clean hands in a clean area. Ensure that the new oil is perfectly clean and free from air bubbles. Care MUST be taken at all times, to ensure that no foreign matter enters the tool, or serious damage may result.
